I made this flower pin for my mom at Christmas and so far I've made two more {sorry no pics} for my good friend's birthdays. All of the beads used were Blue Moon size 11/0 seed beads and the wire was silver 26-gauge. The entire flower itself takes many hours to finish...each petal is about 1-1 1/2 hours depending on how much you're concentrating on the project.

I'll post a tutorial if anyone's interested. :]

TUTURIAL TIME!

this is my modified tutorial.the original came from the book Beading for the First Time by Ann Benson.
